Rather than fighting for a “perfect law” that would ban all abortions, Schouten outlines three laws he thinks could realistically be passed: first, a ban on late-term abortions (which the presentation didn’t mention are uncommon and only performed when the woman’s life is at risk). Second: a law against sex-selective abortions.

And last but not least? A law for the so-called “pre-born” victims of crime that, conveniently, would enshrine fetal “rights” in law.

But back to Focus on the Family. In a blogpost titled "Smart", Mrozek links to the Prairie Dog post and calls it "a fair pro-choice look at a pro-life event." Then she quotes and lauds the first comment.

Hi Prairie Dog! Thanks for a well written article. I’m wondering what were the questionable scientific facts presented at this particular talk? Were you able to either confirm or deny them?

She neglects to remark on the other five (well, four if you discount the repeat) usual hectoring comments from fetus fetishists.

I too linked to Prairie Dog this morning and The Shocker focussed on one of the other more usual comments.

@fernhilldammit "there isn't a pro lifer who wants to see women die" um, there are a lot, the deaths are celebrated on creepy websites

We who watch the zygote zealots -- precisely because they are sneaky -- know this.

LieShite has many many articles about "heroic" women who declined abortion even in the face of life-threatening illness in order to serve Gawd and produce another orphan. Because, you see, in the fetus fetishist universe, abortion is NEVER necessary to save the life of the incubator woman.

Also, at LieShite, and no doubt other even creepier sites, there are regular celebrations -- really, there is no other word for it -- when ambulances are called to abortion clinics. This is from a search on the site for "ambulance."

The recent #ShoutYourAbortion campaign on Twitter proved it again. Women who participated were variously vilified and frequently threatened with death.

If Haper and his Cons are re-elected expect to see changes to abortion/choice rights in Canada. That in my opinion would be his next step. The attack on Choice and the return of the death penalty. he took his first step by making life sentences, consecutive. The American right wing was well represented by Harper and his Cons. We can only hope they go by Monday night.

Harper and his Cons are not advocates of women's rights or equality. A man who, along with 60 of his Cons adheres to a religion which believes the bible is "inerrant" and the second coming is "imminent" and brings those beliefs into our government has to go. Canada is secular country. We are not to be turned into a theologically based country, based on the out dated beliefs of a P. M.

Of course if your religion believes the bible is "inerrant" you aren't in favour of women's rights/choice. If your religion believes the "second coming" is "imminent" no wonder you don't care about climate change and science.
